Thanks, it's good to be home!

There are things that happen here - amidst all the clamber about how much we need to do better - that simply make it good to call Rochester "home".

So let me say "thank you" for a lovely neighborly deed. My Dad turned 91 last week and all he said he wanted to do to celebrate was head over to the Rochester Auto Show! So I called the main desk at the Rochester Auto Dealers' Association just to see if there was something a little special we might be able to do for him at the show. Without asking my name, affiliation or anything else, I was connected through to RADA president, Brad McAreavy. Just two days before the show's opening, Brad could have simply been too busy to take the call, you know ... Instead, he arranged for a cake, song, celebration and free ticket.
